Editorial policy
How the articles and calculators are produced, how advertising and paid introductions are kept apart from the text, and how corrections work.
Here is how the pages on this site come about, and who pays for them. It is meant to be a plain account and nothing more.
- AI tools assist with drafting
- Calculators show their assumptions
- Paying advisors and advertisers do not shape the text
- Corrections come through the contact page
How the pages come about
How articles are prepared
AI tools help draft and organise the articles. They carry no byline, and none is offered as the signed work of a named person. Each one explains a topic in general terms for readers such as pilots, flight crew and their families, and none is aimed at a single person's circumstances. Age limits, pay and benefit rules differ by employer and change over time, so confirm the details that affect you.
What the calculators do
A calculator spells out its assumptions on the page; the arithmetic happens in your browser, and figures you enter are not sent to us. Change the assumptions and the answer moves, so read a result as a scenario, such as a retirement date, a per diem figure or a change in pay, rather than a prediction. The output is only as current as the rules behind it.
Advertising and paid introductions
Ads appear on the site. Advisors also pay to receive introductions to readers who ask for a match. Who pays does not decide what is printed: advertisers and advisors cannot select, buy or amend the text. A paid placement is not a recommendation, and the site does not present it as one.
Corrections
If you find a mistake, send a note through the contact page, naming the page and the line. Once we confirm an error, we correct it on the page.
